This seems to be the more recent evolution of the wigwag. http://www.periheliondesign.com/wigwagdmnl.htm

That website said for experimental use only. Is there one that is certified I'll have to check the aircraft supply companies I guess .

Kirk,
This is it, but it isn't a PMAd part: http://www.periheliondesign.com/wigwagdmnl.htm
Works great, very happy with both the LED lights and switch. The 337 wasn't that bad either.

Thanks back when I had a Citabria I had to deal with the local gado over a prop some one had installed. They had a really helpful maintenance guy he had come from Alaska got it signed off no problem. I hear he has moved and the local shop has been telling me they have had problems getting things done. That could be self inflicted though the owner can be a pain.When I get the switch I'll see if you can send me a copy of the 337 may ease the pain.

Maxpulse is PMA'd / TSO'd, logbook entry only. Little more $$$ then Wig Wag, but does more stuff on control side as well....

Depending on what your mechanic charges to get field approval might not cost more. Good looking specs. Switch panel just looks busy.

CaptnKirk, that was probably John Krause. Nice Guy. He has retired from local FSDO. Last I heard he was rebuilding a Funk. There are still one or two good ones over there though.

Funks or Feds?

Jim now you tell me (lol) I didn't see that one when I was looking for a switch. It will be easier and just about the same price as having a shop sort out the paper work. I can give the other one to my son he said he'll hook it up on his truck , he can already light up the night. Gbarrier yep as I remember his name was John so I assume it was the same guy. That citabria had a belly tank it had been used as a fish spotter he fixed the paper work so I could take it on and off with a logbook entry. He was one of the guys you didn't mind coming around.

Yep, X Fed fixing a Funk. His wife worked there too. Nice folks. Need to look them up.

I installed MaxPulse. Easy installation, and many operating options. Great flight safety enhancement with no weight gain. ... Now if I can just remember to turn it on..?

Oh Yeh! Just add it to my checklist!
